R.S.A. after members
Wellington reporter The Returned Services’ Association seeks new members. In the latest issue of the “R.S.A. Review,” a pamphlet said that while membership was still in good heart, the time would come when the R.S.A. would be looking to other former service people to carry the organ-, isation into the future. The association was formed in 1916 to help resettle soldiers of World War I, and until World War II was known as the Returned Soldiers’ Association.
The name was then changed to include all returned servicemen and servicewomen, and more recently the organisation has been broadened to include people who have served in the Armed Forces and members of the police. The R.S.A. is the guardian of members’ pension rights and also acts as a welfare organisation.
